POLICY OF THE MINISTRY.
**We have in this country at the present mo- moment NO IDEA of having a system of Free Trade.” —ITon. A. McKenzie at Toronto.
“The policy of the Government is deter- mined opposition to the Opposition’’.--Pre- mier's Speech at the Drill Shed.
In other words, the policy of the Gov- ernment is to slander their opponents and do nothing for the good of the country.
THE OPPOSITION PLATFORM.
A RE-ADJUSTMENT OF THE TARIFF.
To make the duties fall more equitably.
To make it the interest of the United States to accord Reciprocity.
To revive the languishing West Trade.
To remove the present barriers to the de- velopment of our Agricultural, Mining and other Natural resourees ; and gen- erally
To encourage Home Industries with Hone Markets for Home Produce.
To promote our Fishing interests and pro- tect the rights of our Fishermen.

‘‘ NEITHER AT LONDON OR FLSEWHERE
HAVE I GOME BEYOND MY MOTION IN Par-
LIAMENT, AND HAVE NEVER PROPOSED AN INCREASE, BUT ONLY A RE-ADJUSTMENT OF TARIFF.
** Joun A. McDonatp.”
‘*Wecan well understand that we may raise the duty on woollen, cotton and other goods, but lower the duty on articles of general consumption which we cannot pro- duce, and the volume of taxation may be LESS IN FACT, although it may be raised, at any given time, higher than it was before. If a man were obliged to pay-a cent more for his cotton, and had a cent taken off his tea, it would be found, by calculation, that he was a gainer by the operation.” —Sir John in Parliament.
MR. TILLEY’S PLANK.
Mr. Trey then took up the public ex- penditure, showing that an average expen- diture of $22,500,000 was all that was necessary, and the expenditure ought to have been kept within that, instead of an average, as it has been, of $24,000,000, The policy of the Opposition was Nor IN- CREASED TAXATION, as it had been stated by their opponents, but a readjustment of the tariff and REDUCED EXPENDI- TURES. These were the planks in their platform, together with encowragement to our manufacturing industries; ship’s ma- terials, raw materials, machinery not made in the country, free; 15 PER CENT. on non-enumerated articles ; and an increase of the tariff on such articles as we ean pro- duce in the country, giving employment to our people and a HOME MARKET FOR OUR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE,
DR. TUPPER’S PLANK.
‘*T trust I have satisfied the House that LT IS NOT « question of high or low taxa- tion, any further than this, that, inasmuch as we governed the country with «@ small taxation, and inasmuch as we ere prepared to govern the country again without those extravagant expenditures made by the pres- ent Government since they have been en- trusted with power, all we ask is, NoT THAT THE TAXATION OF THE PROPLE SHALL’ BE INCREASED, because we do not require so much money as the hon. gentlemen oppo- site, as we have shown by our economy in
the past, and which we are prepared to |
practice in the future, but that the money
shall be levied in such a way as to FURNISH | EMPLOYMENT FOR THE PEOPLE AND PROVIDE | THE MEANS OF PAYING THE TAXATION THAT. IS LEVIED UPON THEM.”

the Government Contracts
are Given out.
(From the Se. John Suit.)
lt will be remembered that about two weeks ago Mr. Brydges went to Souris, P. E. I., to award the contract for the Rail- way Wharf and Branch line tothe Break- water at that place.
It was given out that there were two ten- ders lower than the others,—one for $15,- 000 or thereabouts, made by Mr. John Mooney, and another for $19,995 made by Mr. Simon Chiverie.
Dr. MclIntyre,the Grit candidate, anxious to secure the French vote in that district, is said to have made the necessary in- terest with Mr. Brydges, who at once said to Mr. Mooney: ‘‘Your tender is too low ; you can’t do it for that amount. I will give you an hour and a half to revise your offer. Make it about $20,000.” So Mr. Mooney withdrew his tender, intending to amend it, as advised, pleased. to think that he had found so good a friend in the guardian angel of the Government Railways. But Mr. Mooney on his return, shortly before the time given had expired, was refused ad- mittance to Mr. Brydges under the excuse that he was considering another tender ; and it soon transpired that the contract was awarded to Mr. Simon Chiverie for $5 less than the offer which Mr. Brydges had told Mr. Mooney to make. Dr. McIntyre was delighted; and so was Mr. Chiverie; but Mr. Mooney thinks the great man has a strange way of doing public business.
However, the laugh is not all on one side yet ; for it is said that Dr. McIntyre him- self is now disgusted since it has transpired that Mr. Chiverie was acting in the interest of a friend who, being a good Opposition man, will see that the Government party get no special advantage from the contract during the election.
There is just one other point in connexion with this award which ought to be looked into. We have been informed that there were two tenders sent in by Westmorland contractors, either of which was below the figure to be paid ta Mr. Chiverie, and these tenderers, who are practical, reliable par- ties, offered undoubted security.
It is quite impossible that the affair can rest were itis. These Westmoreland ten- derers should apply to Sir Albert Smith for redress. They are both well known to him as substantial business men who have been engaged in large contracts which they have satisfactorily executed, and who have made money, and were, therefore, in a good posi- tion to carry out any undertaking that they might assume. Sir Albert may desire to postpone action until after the elections, but this would be very unfair. We should
How
know at once what legitimate tenderers
have to expect at the hands of a Govern- ment which professes to do everything in connexion with public contracting Im an

Fundamental Principies Well- Stated.
We have long admired the Presbyterian Witness, of Halifax, as a high-toned inde- pendent journal, free from party trammels, and brave enough to risk the misrepresen- tations of partizans on either side where duty demanded that its voice be raised. This admiration has been increased by its jeading article of last week in the course of which it ably states and supports the fun- damental principles for which the Opposi- tion are now contending. Let every reader carefully read and consider the following extract -—~
‘* Peace is right and precious; yet there are times when we must even give up pre- sent peace, and plunge into. the horrors of war, in order to win permanent peace. So, Free Trade is no doubt right, scientifically and morally; yet there may be circumstances when it would be absolutely necessary to depart from it in order to secure the wel- fare of the community,—just as necessary as it would be to depart from the rule of peace. You may be most heartily opposed to Protection yet be compelled by peculiar circumstances to practice it, just as,abomin- ating war, you might still be so situated as to have no alternative but to go to war. When a foreign power by its trade policy assails the well-being of any class of our com- munity and tries to ruin them, we are as much bound morally and patriotically to rise to their reseue as we would be to repel a Fenian raid, or a Russian invasion. These are principles which are admitted by such economists as Gladstone and Goldwin Smith ; they are principles which, in the wild clamor of party strife, are too apt to be forgotten. Inthe sense we speak of—as a defensive measure —Protection may be- come as essential to the public safety as the organizing of a military foree. You are theoretically opposed to war; yet in certain circumstances war may become your first and highest duty. All righteous laws, the law of God and the law of man justify self- defence; and there may be times and places where self-defence in trade isa moral as well as a political duty. When and where such measures of self-defence should be adopted is a problem of practical statesman- ship upon which we do not require to offer an opinion. Our aim is to state the - tion, in the abstracte, and thus pochavs hele our readers to come to wise practical con- clusions. In ancient times cities and na- tions would aim at destroying by the sword their rivals in trade. The city or nation that did not successfully defend itself was sure to be ruined. In our time the sword is not the means used to secure the over- throw of a rival. Bounties, extravagant taxes, prohibitory tariffs, draw-backs, and we know not what are plans and measures used to divert trade from its proper chan- nels and interfere with its freedom. These measures nay virtually partake of the charae- ter of acts of war, and they should be met in an intelligent and patriotic spirit, all classes making common cause with those who, for the moment, are sufferers.”
The italics are ours. The Witness has well described the condition of Canada with its trade and industries suffering from the war waged upon them by the United States by its system of ‘‘bounties, tariffs, taxes and drawbacks.’’ We may be free traders in theory—the most of us are— but shall we, therefore, refuse to defend ourselves against the aggressions of a foreign power which will not permit the exercise of our free trade principles? The Government say the principle of free trade is right and we must do all we can towards carrying it out, regardless of consequences! The Op- position say that practical results are the best tests of the soundness of any principle, that the condition of the country must be considered and the policy adopted that promises to be productive of the greatest geod to the greatest number. Which is right? Let a wise answer, uninfluenced by personal considerations, be given on the i7th September, for therein depends the prosperity or continued adversity of Canada for many years to come.

General Grant had an interview with the Czar at St. Petersburg, the latter showing great cordiality, and, at the close of the in- terview, the Emperor said, ‘‘ Since the foundation of your Government, the rela- tions between Russia and America have been of the friendliest character, and as long as I live nothing shall be spared to continue that friendship.” General Grant replied that although the two Governments were directly opposite in character, the great majority of the American people were in sympathy with Russia, and would, he hoped, so continue. The Grand Duke Alexis met General Grant at the station, and cordially recalled his visit to America. The General also received a special audience by the Czarowitch, and he spent several hours with Prince Gortschakoff. The French Ambassador gave a dinner to Gen. Grant, and there was a special review of the fire brigade in his honor. He arrived
-at Moscow on the 9th, and Prince Dogoroff ‘dined him on the 10th.
He arrived in Warsaw on the 15th, and was at Vienna on the 20th. He will spend a month in the Tyrol.
The “Constitutional” says it would not be at all surprised if President MacMahon
